Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan Concerned with the need for protection against unexpected and frequently high medical expenses which may be incurred by our students, we are pleased to announce a program of insurance which has been especially designed for the needs of our students. This plan will give greater assurance to our students that medical bills will not place a financial burden on themselves or their parents.

Payment of $483 automatically provides coverage for a full year beginning the first day of College in August 2007 and expiring on September 1, 2008. Students are required to carry insurance while attending NMCC, and this charge will be included as part of the College charges, unless such coverage is waived by the student with proof of other insurance prior to September 21, 2007. For new second semester students, the charge is $323 and the waiver deadline is February 8, 2008. If you have other insurance coverage and wish to waive the Northern Maine Community College Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan, go to www.nmcc.edu, click Campus Portal, login to the College's Information Portal and fill out the Full-time Student Insurance Waiver in the College Forms & Documents section. You will be given instructions on how to complete the waiver request form that will be submitted to the College electronically. This form will request the name and policy number of your current insurance plan, so have that information available. Upon successful completion and submission of the waiver request, you will receive an electronic confirmation number that should be kept for your records. If you need to make any changes in your election to waive the coverage prior to September 21, 2007 for the annual plan, or by February 8, 2008 for new second semester students, you will need to contact the business office at the College. A paper waiver form is available at the business office for students without internet access. Those students who do not waive the insurance plan by the deadline, (September 21, 2007 for the annual plan or by February 8, 2008 for new second semester students), will be automatically enrolled in and charged for the Northern Maine Community College Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan. Once enrolled, a student may not cancel the insurance and no refund is available. Coverage continues until the policy expires.

This year NMCC continues to offer Health Services on campus. The Health Center will be staffed 27 hours per week while school is in session. The schedule and location will be posted when classes commence.
